Sunlight

The sunlight gives us life

I woke up like a kid on Christmas Day
and saw the light streaming in
little beams through my windows
it danced on my face and my eyes
and I awoke with a smile

I scrambled out of bed and looked out the window

Such beauty litters the world

I ran outside and greeted the sun!
Good morning, and thanks for coming!
Come in, stay a while, let's talk some more.
We sat and smiled together

As time passed, I realized I needed to start my day.
I ran inside and brushed my teeth,
and raced through a shower,
and hurried back outside
so I could bask in the sun as I dried my skin.

The sun is life

The surfer

The lone wave seeker

Sits and waits patiently

Gazing at the horizon

In search of that one wave

That's meant for him

She doesn't slow down or give up

She flows endlessly and without fail

Let's out wave after wave

And all meant for someone

She is the God here

She is the one they pray to

She gives and takes

And doesn't care or feel guilt

Or shame or need rest

We analyze and plan

And try to manipulate

And sometimes that wave is not ours

And we try to steal or beg

And she has no ears for us

She doesn't listen to our dreams

She only knows her own

And every once in a while

She will form before us

A wave, a mountain

And calls us to it

And we sail on top and 

She laughs with us

She nods in agreement

And all is well

But until then

We sit and wait

We don't look to our left or right

Wishing and allowing envy

We look ahead and know

That she will bring what she has

When the time is right
